First criminal prosecutions under the CAN-SPAM act

Four people have been charged with e-mailing fraudulent sales pitches ... spamming.

From the article:

Court papers identified the four as Daniel J. Lin, James J. Lin, Mark M. Sadek and Christopher Chung, all believed living in suburban Detroit. They were accused of disguising their identities in hundreds of thousands of e-mail sales pitches and delivering e-mails by bouncing messages through unprotected relay computers on the Internet.

It sounds like they have two of them, but not the other two.
